Perhaps no other Japanese aftermarket tuner is so well known for their strong brand presence in the JDM world. Spoon Sports is the world's most renowned specialist for Honda high performance cars that made headlines in the early 2000s thanks to movies like Fast & Furious, popular Japanese manga and anime Initial D and The Real Driving Simulator Gran Turismo and Japanese auto review programme Best Motoring. Their cars were featured numerous times, solidifying their status as the standard of old school JDM culture. Their tuning philosophy, products and service and hospitality have won many fans around the world with distributors in major markets.
While Honda sports car owners use Spoon parts it is their 'demo car' known from the 90s that has the strongest image in the minds of enthusiasts. Going through many iterations in Spoon's ongoing research and development to push the limits through racing and rigorous testing in order to make better parts, the 'demo car' served as the iconic pin up poster trophy that would be the example of many Honda build. Particularly the Civic models, EG6, EK4, EK9 , Integra Type R DC2 and S2000.
Out of these perhaps the EK9 Civic Type R with the iconic black carbon fibre bonnet in Sunlight Yellow and black SW388 wheels is still the Spoon flag carrier, thanks to this version's appearance in many Best Motoring videos and one of the character cars in Initial D modelled after the Spoon EK9. However, Honda Type R models have always been identified with the Type R specific 'Championship White' colour.
We had the privilege of taking their newly restored car made by TYPE ONE, Spoon's customer tuning shop in Tokyo for a through test to experience how a mechanically fully restored Civic feels. The concept is called 'Renovation Car'. Using the full array of Spoon tuning parts, it is a OEM plus 'Restomod' tuning specially for the street.
Join us as we analyse why Honda high performance cars in particular the Type R models are considered one of the finest JDM stock cars and how Spoon improves on this platform to give the driver the most fun driving experience.

I want to see Captain's car restored. It would be awesome to see all the process. 😁
Me too :D
Please make this happen!
YESSSS
Can listen to captain talk about cars all day. This guy is on a another level
imagine him and nads from hoonigan on the same show. that would truly be another level of autmotive knowledge.
@@ahhh6201 nads+beer in hand= true honda power :)
Entertaining and educational! Great job creating this Honda EK9 video. Packed with so much info and so much fun to watch.
Polyphony Digital should hire you to make in-game stories about Japanese cars. The aesthetics, music, serenity and knowledge in your videos.. I love it
the ek9’s design never feels outdated. Beautiful.
I love your content so much. I don't always feel like watching a 30 minute video on youtube, but when it's JDM Masters I just know I am going to enjoy it and learn a lot. Thank you
EDIT: Good luck saving up to get your car renovated to this standard! Would love to see that. Might as well get that Honda crate engine in there whilst you are at it!
You get a like from the start for mentioning Ireland. I would like to see some content on the Fairlady Z and the MR-s(maybe call TECHNO PRO SPRITS to have an interview)
I’d love to see mr-s techno spirit feature.
🇮🇪🇯🇵
YES, please do treat your EK9 to the same standard and DO document it all! That would be a treat to watch!
Another masterpiece, Captain. Well done as always!
Awesome video Jen! Finally your Ek9 will get some love!
I'm so glad I got to see this video pop up today. Great way to start May! Happy Tuning JDM Masters
I always love restoring an old Civic to get a taste of the 90's... love your videos keep them coming
Outstanding video! Appreciate this!
My respect to you, you are the true master of your trade! I don`t know any other youtuber who can compare with you in this field. Your narration is good, pleasure to watch your videos.
Brilliant video again!! Brings back memories of my brothers ek9 when it was imported to Ireland. Great content on this channel id like to see some videos of the S model imprezas s202 ,s203 in particular. Big fan of this channel
I couldn't click to watch any faster than I did. Awesome video as always Capt.
I would absolutely love to see the process of your car getting restored, Great Video as always 👍🏼
Fantastic as always. Thank you! What a machine. Please don't ever stop doing these
You always provide quality automotive content for us JDM lovers. Bless you Captain!
I love the technical detail and diagrams. A step above and beyond everyone else! Thank you
Great content as always, with a legendary car! Also, loved the song choices throughout the video 👌🏼
Thank you so much for making this entertaining and informative video.
Detail, detail, detail.
Love it.
Keep up the great work mate.
Nice video! Love this channel!!
God, the absolute quality of this content is unmatched. I hope you guys get rich, for real.
This is perhaps the best video on your channel.
The details you show about each car and the differences between standard models and modified in the right way, is something that not many you tube channels have.
It is easy to find on the Internet the volume of the engine, acceleration and mass and dimensions of the vehicle, but the crucial differences and improvements with the vehicle are much harder to find.
All the best from Bosnia.
What an amazing video - very informative and fantastic knowledge. Spoon Sports make some amazing machines!
Now on to search for some of the goodies ive found here! Thank you for the great information.
My man capt!💯 smooth dealing and composure at the end brother✊

DUDE THIS IS THE VIDEO I'VE BEEN WAITING ON. YESSSSS🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

This is soo nostalgic! And loving that Grand Turismo Soundtrack.
Far From The East (vocal version) from GT2 at the beginning of the video was a nice touch, such a beautiful and nostalgic song

Wow what a great review congrats Captain and aonaminnie for this great episode of JDM Masters! I would love to see the rare New Vogue Silver EK9 refresh in colaboration with Spoon Sports including every details of it. I also love Spoon Sports for their handling improvements. I installed some of their parts to my euro spec EK4 and I love to drive it every single time. Please keep that great content coming. Best regards from Germany - Oliver
Yes Captain! Definitely restore!! Love your car!!
i learn soo much about the ek9 and it was also really fun to watch also, please make content about your ek into Type-R
Bro i like the way u present. U really know so much on looking a JdM cars. U know about allllllllll bro. U are awesome.
Loved hearing Captain say "Vtec kicked in yo."
Definitely want to see more of your EK9.
Top video !! Awesome stuff on this "renovation".sounds good ,goes good.Yes captain,restore your car,we would love to see the process.Give it 3 spoons full !
awesome car thank you for the video!!
Loving the content in a world of youtube videos full of people making noises while driving *MADSPEC* *1000HP** cars its nice to see quality content like this! I always leave your videos feeling like I've learnt something. Ive actually recently bought a DC5 typer R myself that's currently having the same treatment...replacing worn OEM parts with new ones and adding a few spoon goodies! Hope i get to visit Type One one the apocalypse is over.
Aahh... this soundtrack makes this great video even better 😊
Anyone else pick up a huge GT4 vibe from the music at 30:03? And yes please do a resto video on your Civic. Watching this makes me want to start changing all the bushings and suspension on my 21 year old Integra!
Captain is so cool. Wish I could have him as a friend ^ ^'. Great video guys!
love your videos, not sure if I'm getting notifications when you upload, I have a lot of catching up to do
This inspires me so much to keep going. Refreshing to new car status professionally for masters to master in own domain.
The grand turismo song at the end is soooo soothing 😌
Im loving the content. More videos please 😁
Beautiful and tasteful car. Nothing but the best from Spoon.
Living in England we have a lot of honda's but every time I watch one of these videos it's like I knew nothing at all the information is second to none brilliant content brother keep up the good work
Really enjoy your videos. You should do a video on the Honda prelude
This video is an amazing love letter to the EK9. I love it.
I would definitely love to see your Ek9, go through the same restoration as the Spoon Ek9 👍 and the step by step videos. But as I mentioned on a previous video, I’m a proud owner of a 2005 Jdm Ep3 Civic Type R, and would love to see one on your channel, and a pop into spoon to see if in the future that they could provide more parts for them, like they have done for the Ek9, Dc2, Eg6. 👍😃😃😃
Great, deep fine tuned video!
Man, the yellow EK with the advan logos on the fender is so iconic to me.
I really like your videos
I love your channel. You’re extremely thorough with your reviews. I’d like to recommend to keep the background music to a minimum (other than intros and stuff like that). It can be a bit distracting at times.
yes !! show us your car getting restored ! the whole process, before and after ! even a detailed review on the differences you can feel !
Restore please please please would love to see all the in depth content mate that would be awesome! Love these cars and hope to own something as clean as this in the near future.. miss my supercharged ek4 so bad 😔 loved the vid👍👍👍
I would definitely love to see Captain's car restored and the process documented as soon as possible.
Top 3 Hondas to absolutely tear up the mountains. Ek9, ITR, EF9
The intro is awesome....!!!!
Best channel in the game ❤
Love the video,hope one day ill have a honda like this 😁
Love your work guys. Any videos in the future about gxe10 toyota altezza / lexus is? I would like to hear what Captain can say about it. He is like a wikipedia for cars. :)
It would be amazing to see a JDM Masters visit to Opera Performance!
Amazing content, as always...
What dream spoon resto awesome if man thanks for sharing!!!!
Great video.
I still remember my brother's facelifted 1999 EK9 when he had it back in the mid 2000's, epic car.
Unfortunately the prices being asked for EK9's now makes them all but impossible to buy.
The prices are beyond crazy and with American's becoming ever closer to being able to legally import the early '97
cars, they won't be getting any cheaper any time soon.
Yes yes and yes 🙏 love your show!
Hell yeah you should do this to yours!!!
I've adopted the same ethos to my Civic VT-i MC2. I'm in the process of renewing bushes and springs in mine to get a more refined feel out of it. The only problem I'm facing is what aftermarket parts to get as I have to cross reference parts from a DC2 as they share a lot of the same parts.
Proper job!!
Awesome feature!!! Ii would be awesome if you can document your re-build / renovation on your personal EK build by Type ONE!!! I will learn so much about the car even more!!!...
Please do a video on the next generation, the ep3 type r, comparing the uk and jdm models...this is easily the best channel!!!
The car is legendary and my respect goes out to spoon for keeping the EK9 current with subtle changes that improve the overall performance of it! Well done Captain Bradford!!
And yes please turn your type r into the spoon type r!!!!!
🧞♂️🙂👍🏽
Very nice! Here in Siberia we have a lot old (and some very old) JDM cars but most are in very very poor condition.
It is sorry to see just a shades of old 90s and early 2000s spirit but it is a great pleasure to see your Type-R is this perfect condition. Thanks!
Awesome video! Please “renovate” your car and document! Also really want to see a street review of the Spoon FK8 as I have an FK8 myself and am in a constant debate of which Honda tuners parts to go with!!! Haha
excellent video
Really enjoyed the content. DC2 owner here 👍🏼
great video
YES WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PROCESS MANNNNN!! The EK is a special car to me and I would like to see what steps are involved in the entire journey.
I'd love to own a 6th generation hatch, love these builds.
Definitely restore the EK9 with some some Spoon goodness! Very interested in Spoons take on the FK8!
I want to see my DC2 restored by the SPOON 😁 Just love to watch your vids CptBradford 🥰
miss mine! sold it last year after 6 years of ownership, best car I ever had
YES, I want to see Captain's car restored too! Document that 'renovation' process hahah!
Awesome! Could you visit RE Amemyia or a rotary tuner next?
Such an informative segment and reminded me of why I love driving my Si Coupe, though I've always loved and wanted an EK9 Type R. Spoon is and will clearly always we amazing, but what are your thoughts on other products such as Toda Racing?
A Legend, always and ever..🙏🏻
No. It's a Civic.
Captain please do an episode focusing on Integra Type R dc2 ans dc5!! Your content is just superb!!
Yes please do DC2 AND DC5
When I read "Return of a JDM Legend". It applies to both the man and the car. ❤ JDM Masters
I have one civic ek4 and Iove it a lot it's a great and fabulous car I imagined the ek9
The greatest car channel on UA-cam. Yes, even better than the legendary DK's latest offerings.
Yes document your type r renovation!
I wish had one like that here in the Philippines. I also wish to meet you in person someday sir. I own an old rickety 1989 Toyota Corolla with 2E engine, i hope you can help me restore it. I thank you alot on your videos, i gain much knowledge on JDM cars. Keep safe! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
